About Capiz shells:
These are made from the outer shell of a marine mollusk, whose scientific name is placuna placenta, also known as the windowpane oyster. Capiz shells from the Philippines are named this because they were originally harvested from the shallow coastal waters near the city of Capiz, on the island of Panay. Once properly cleaned, these shells are naturally translucent, and when painted, they create a beautiful play of colors when a light is placed inside.
